NOT A PARTISAN ISSUE
The question of prohibition ia not a parti
sim issue and has no business in the platform
of ny of the political parties. It has absolutely
nothing to do with politics.
Prohibitionists and anti-Prohibitonists are
going to be very much in the limelight during
the next few months. North Carolinians will
be asked to go to the polls in November to de
cide the question of whether or not a conven
tion shall be held for the purpose of advocating
repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment.
The voters should decide this matter not
as Democrats or as Republicans, but as citizens
of North Carolina. There is no reason on earth
why one party should claim to be wet, or why
some other party should claim to be dry. So
far as numerical proportion is concerned, just
as many Republicans drink liquor as there are
Democrats w ho imbibe, and just as many Demo
crats are lry as there are Republicans who hold
similar views. In campaigns such as the one
which now engages our attention, the wets
ought to get together, regardless of party affi
liation, and the drys ought to do the same
thing. The State.

Commissioner Maxwell reveivisg $-l.oi0 is

Heretofore Deputy Commissioner Thomp

in Raleigh, has Ivor, nveiving $'S00 and Harry
MeMullan. another appointee of the Governor,
row goes in to help with the sales tax division
at a salary of $1,000.
There is too much discrepancy here to be
allow evi to stand and the Governor should hasten

Ra'igh. Duringr the tWo-yar
priod that came to a close June 1,
the state highway commission prison
department has handled 34.717 pris
oners with a total of only 37 deaths,
and without the killing of a single
prisoner by guards during attempted
escapes, Sam D. Scott, superintend
ent of prison camps said todays These
figures were just compiled by the pris
on department for presentation to the
Institute of Government in Chapel
Hill.
We have had a few cases in which
prisoners were wounded while trying
to escape, but none in which any pris.
oner has bee killed outrieht bv a
guard." Scott said. "One prisoner
died after being shot by a guard, but
the doctor who attended him said the
gunshot wound was only a contrib
utary cause. Ve think this is a pretty
good record for having handled as
many men as we have during the past
two vears.
